About two years after a major explosion, Beirut relived the trauma of those days with a fire that struck and knocked down the silos in the ruins of the city port, omnipresent symbols of tragedy. In vain were the attempts of the families of the victims to preserve them.
The silos have partially collapsed. And now it is feared that the rest of the structures will collapse as well.
Granaries housed most of Lebanon’s grain reserves from the 1970s until August 4, 2020, when hundreds of tons of ammonium nitrate exploded in a port warehouse located a few meters from this prominent mass, taking with it more than 200 lives and entire neighborhoods of the capital.
